Set sail! ...time to be part of it

Welcome on board the LegenDerry Maritime Festival in association with the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race 2013/2014 for the time of your life!

As one of the designated ports for the race, from June 21~29, the city will be transformed into an international marina to host the 12 Clipper Race yachts and race teams.

The 2013-2014 Clipper Race fleet includes the Derry~Londonderry~Doire entry skippered by the city’s own Sean McCarter accompanied by his LegenDerry crew, proud ambassadors for our city during an epic trip on the ocean waves.

They will receive a rousing welcome when the yachts sail up the Foyle and into the heart of the city on the homecoming leg of their transatlantic challenge.

As well as welcoming the fleet of the world’s longest ocean race, the festival will enable marine enthusiasts and visitors alike to enjoy a treasure trove of activities.

All of the seafaring action will be set to a spectacular backdrop of live music, street performances, concerts, fantastic food and celebratory events each and every day.

Vibrant destination

Go with the flow!

The riverfront will be awash with colour and buzzing with festive fever from early morning until late at night. Visiting yachts, tall ships, Navy vessels, RNLI Life Boat, canoes and dinghies will be here for the festival – there is even a floating stage on the Foyle!

Excited spectators will be out in force with thousands of people from Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, Britain, continental Europe and North America expected to attend the nine-day maritime extravaganza.

Derry is firmly established as a vibrant short break destination, having hosted the phenomenal Clipper Race homecoming in 2012 and the first UK City of Culture in 2013 to local, regional, national and international acclaim.

The LegenDerry Maritime Festival will copper-fasten the city’s status as a world class location for investors and visitors alike.
